Overview

About

Maintained by David SchochFirst published 2019-07-038 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

'RStudio' addin which provides a GUI to visualize and analyse networks. After finishing a session, the code to produce the plot is inserted in the current script. Alternatively, the function SNAhelperGadget() can be used directly from the console. Additional addins include the Netreader() for reading network files, Netbuilder() to create small networks via point and click, and the Componentlayouter() to layout networks with many components manually.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash

sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-snahelper

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
